Does NPP have an automated test suite?

I’d like to know how NPP is tested to see if I can contribute in some way (either by creating manual test suites or automated tests).
If there are any automated tests (which I haven’t been able to find), where can I find them?
Thanks.

No it does not.

We’re in the process of creating automated tests for the Function List parsers (see discussion ).

Thanks for the clarification :)
Other than the parsing functions, may I ask how the whole project is tested? (e.g.: the UI). Is there anything that needs people to contribute in that matter?

how the whole project is tested

AFAIK manually and mainly by @donho.
Releases are preceeded by pre-releases which can be used by users to report regressions/critical issues.

Is there anything that needs people to contribute in that matter?

IMO automated UI testing would be a great addition!
